Modding?

Executor · #1 April 2nd, 2009, 07:31 AM

I was wondering if some mods could be entered in an already existing game?
Like changing standards for example.

Not unless you already have a mod running, if you do you can add whatever you want as long as you do it in that mod.

Well, that's a damn shame.
We have a single age game and the 3 last nations are gonna be Jotunheim, EA and LA C'tis which have exactly the same banners so it's a little confusing, and war WILL break out at one point.

You're not running any mods at all?

Worthy heroes 1.8 and Single age mod.
Can anything be done???

cut and paste the code from standards into single age
copy the graphics (the flags) into the appropriate directory.

So it can be done, thanks, that's good news.
But no need to do it now, not that I'd know how...

It would be a five minute job. Post again if you're stuck and need it doing.

Wouldn't it have to be done on the llamaserver, thus affecting all the other games using those mods as well?

I missed it. Did he say it was on one of the public servers? I think everyone is taking for granted that he is running it on his own machine.

If the game is on any of the servers (llamaserver, dom3minions, dom3.servegame, valhalla, etc) then it would have to be changed on the server. Also keep in mind that for most changes the players will also have to have matching mods so they have to change it also.

This is why one of my standard suggestions is that ALL games, especially multiplayer games planned to run a long time, should include one of the many blank little filler-mod examples to make it easy to put in changes later. It makes it much easier to remove units or spells or equipment in mid game if its causing a problem.

I have one available at my site
